Case Discussion

Nasal dermoid is considered the most common among the midline congenital masses of the nose. Presentation is usually variable in timing, while it may present at birth it might remain undiscovered until childhood or early adulthood. It might be a solitary finding or associated with a sinus opening into the skin.
